I'm a man who has a beautiful dog named Milka (by the way, she doesn't speak English because she was raised in Peru and only understands Spanish). I have a sister in Tampa, USA, a brother in Vancouver, Canada, and two more brothers in Peru. My plan is to stay in Lima until next year, specifically until July.

My hobbies include playing sports, dancing salsa, traveling, reading, engaging in deep conversations, swimming in the sea, and, well, maybe watching 'Barney and Friends' (just kidding...).

I hail from Lima, Peru. Spanish is my native language, and I'm comfortable with French, English, Portuguese, and German.

I have two degrees, one in Media and another in Clinical Psychology. I'm enthusiastic about pursuing further studies and aiming for a career as a psychologist, professor, and language coach.

In my daily routine, I work, study languages, engage in sports, read books, and meet up with friends, among other activities.

I try to travel twice a year. My aspiration is to live in Europe for a couple of years, and my dream trip would be to visit the Holy Land.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I've just signed up for Couchsurfing because I love meeting new people, and learning about other cultures, and of course I have a great passion for languages. I am an advocate that every human being is unique and has something extraordinary to teach me.

Die Grenzen meiner Sprache bedeuten die Grenzen meiner Welt. Wittgenstein
The limits of my language are the limits of my world meaning

If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart. Nelson Mandela

Algo increíble que he hecho

Every Sunday I take part in voluntary work (its name is Siloe Peru, you can see it on Face) at a Hospital for children. I've been volunteering there for five years and it has been a wonderful experience in which we play and have a great time with the kids from different backgrounds.

Some of my videos:
i've learned 7 languages and I love learning more.
